✗ NOT READY
Juicero

Scored 3/10. Predicted social stigma would kill adoption. Coined
"Glasshole" problem before it became cultural shorthand.

what their $1B launch video led with.
✓ READY WITH CAUTION
Airbnb
Scored 5/10. Recommended launching to young urban explorers first,
delaying mainstream — their actual go-to-market strategy.
